Dyspnea
The natural course of untreated RDS is characterized by progressive worsening of cyanosis and dyspnea. [clinicalgate.com]
Most of these cases were less severely affected, had dyspnea and progressive cough, sometimes accompanied by cyanosis, finger clubbing, failure to thrive in the younger ones, and asthenia or weight loss in the others. [respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com]

Pulmonary Disorder
These data support the feasibility of using immunoanalyses of BAL fluid to evaluate chronic pediatric pulmonary disorders in more detail. [respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com]
SP-B was readily detected in the lung tissue of the control patients with various pulmonary disorders but was absent in the case patient's lung tissue ( Figure 1 ). SP-A was readily detected in all lung samples in roughly comparable amounts. [nejm.org]

We suggest heightened vigilance and consultation with a reference laboratory in detecting similar mutations in term newborns presenting with unexplained respiratory failure. [content.iospress.com]
These results suggest that SP-B and SP-C have different contributions to inter- and intra-membrane lipid dynamics, and that their combined action could provide unique effects to modulate structure and dynamics of pulmonary surfactant membranes and films [biochemj.org]

Treatment

Standard Therapies Treatment of infant respiratory distress syndrome consists of mechanical or physical breathing assistance such as positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive. [rarediseases.org]
which became a more established treatment modality. [healio.com]
Intratracheal surfactant Supplementary oxygen as needed Mechanical ventilation as needed Specific treatment of RDS is intratracheal surfactant therapy. [msdmanuals.com]
Pharmacologic Therapies Several pharmacologic options are available to the clinician for the treatment of RDS and prevention of its complications. Selected treatments are reviewed here. [clinicalgate.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis with treatment is excellent; mortality is 10%. With adequate ventilatory support alone, surfactant production eventually begins, and once production begins, RDS resolves within 4 or 5 days. [msdmanuals.com]
Finally, the prognosis for infants with congenital alveolar proteinosis has been uniformly poor, even with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Therapeutic whole-lung lavage has also been considered 4. [nejm.org]

The etiology of BPD is problematic and may be due to oxygen, overventilation or underventilation. [en.wikipedia.org]
It is occasionally difficult to distinguish respiratory from nonrespiratory etiologies on the basis of clinical signs alone. [clinicalgate.com]
Thus, despite similar chest x-rays and histopathological findings, the BAL profile for SP-B, SP-C and their proforms appears useful in distinguishing PAP from SP-B deficiency of any etiology. [respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology of respiratory distress syndrome. The above scenario is repeated nightly throughout the United States with private pediatricians caring for such infants on a regular basis. [healio.com]
Pathophysiology [ edit ] The lungs of infants with respiratory distress syndrome are developmentally deficient in a material called surfactant, which helps prevent collapse of the terminal air-spaces (the future site of alveolar development) throughout [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
Extensive testing of each preparation has demonstrated that both products are efficacious in preventing and treating RDS and preventing the complications of pulmonary airleak. [healio.com]
The only way to prevent the need for surfactant replacement therapy is to prevent a premature birth. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Timely and appropriate therapy is essential to prevent ongoing injury and improve outcome. [clinicalgate.com]
Figure 5 The airspaces are lined with a lipoprotein complex called pulmonary surfactant, named for its ability to maintain normal respiratory mechanics by reducing surface tension at the air/liquid interface, preventing the lungs from collapsing at the [webs.ucm.es]
Prevention [ edit ] Giving the mother glucocorticoids speeds the production of surfactant. For very premature deliveries, a glucocorticoid is given without testing the fetal lung maturity. [en.wikipedia.org]
